• Headline inflation has started to come down, but DM central banks want to see progress on getting core inflation back towards target in the coming years. This is prompting further tightening, but at a slower pace.The picture has been complicated by signs that recessions in the U.S./Europe could be avoided or shallower. What will DM central banks do?
• EM countries face differing growth and inflation outlooks, which produces a mixed picture for their economies and policy setting. The EM tightening phase is becoming mature however, as slack labor markets means that the pick-up in core inflation has been less than DM countries.
